The Introvert’s Edge to Networking: Work the Room. Leverage Social Media. Develop Powerful Connections (The Introvert’s Edge Series) Review: ‘Trust in yourself, trust in your abilities, trust in my system and transform your life’ - Australian author Matthew Pollard, aka ‘the Rapid Growth Guy,’ is a serial entrepreneur, international speaker, coach, consultant, and author who is reportedly revolutionizing the world of business. His specialties include telecommunications and creating a sales method for Pollard Institute. He is the Founder and Executive Director of Small Business Festival. THE INTROVERT’S EDGE TO NETWORKING is his second book – the first being THE INTROVERT’S EDGE: HOW THE QUIET AND SHY CAN OUTSELL ANYONE. From the titles of Mathew’s two books it is hinted that at one point in time the author was an introvert, a fact that he shares in his About the Author at the end of his book. As he states there, ‘Today, I’m on a mission. A mission to help introverts like us realize that we don’t have to be (or pretend to be) extroverts. That our path to success is different. When we embrace that, while leveraging the power of systemization, we find our edge, we make our own luck, and we realize our dreams.’ Matthew’s technique of writing mirrors his skills in networking: he warmly reassures the reader that the brouhaha of extroverts is an unnecessary trait for networking success. With a supportive ‘arm around the shoulder’ atmosphere he underscores the truly important aspects of ‘networking’ – being prepared before entering ‘the room,’ active listening, maintaining curiosity, inviting conversations, the ‘do what you love and love what you do’ mindset, learning to tell stories, etc…skills that focus of being your transparent, authentic self. If the above sounds impossibly naïve, then read and absorb this excellent book and discover the system Matthew Pollard has created that has improved the lives and success of many. The system - an actionable blueprint for working the room, leveraging social media, and cultivating powerful connections. This is a very impressive, even stupefying book. Very highly recommended. Grady Harp, May 21 Review: An absolutely necessary read for introverts who've failed at networking in the past - For mote than the three decades I've run a solo environmental consultancy I failed at networking. Yes, I'd pay to go to an event, but had no idea what to do while there. Last year I was scheduled to give a presentation at a large industry annual conference which also had networking opportunities (of which I failed to take advantage in prior years.) A couple of weeks before the conference I learned about Matthew Pollard and ordered this book. It arrived 5 days before the conference and I quickly read how to introduce myself and hold a conversation with people I didn't know. I made several good contacts during the conference and now look for other in-person networking events where I can hone what I've learned about networking. Now I'm re-reading the book from front to back to pick up all I missed when I rushed to learn how to change my actions in networking events. My only regret is that this knowledge was not available to me many years ago. Very highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #89,837 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #177 in Communication Skills #221 in Sales & Selling (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (456) | | Dimensions | 6.02 x 0.83 x 8.99 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1400216710 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1400216710 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | June 25, 2024 | | Publisher | HarperCollins Leadership | ## Images ![The Introvert’s Edge to Networking: Work the Room.

Very highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're an introvert and are serious about growing your business, this book is for you. *by C***Y on January 22, 2021* I found Matthew Pollard's first book, The Introvert's Edge, at a bookstore last year and was amazed that someone "got" me. Most people assume I'm an extrovert because I am very involved with business organizations and even lead two monthly networking groups. The truth is that when it comes to talking about and representing myself in a group, I stumble because of my true introverted nature. I've always been better in a one-on-one situation than in groups. Yet, I network consistently and have grown my graphic design/print reseller business this way over the past 21 years. I knew there should be a formula to help me take my business to the next level and that's where this book will help my effectiveness. I was elated to have been chosen to pre-read and review Matthew's second book, The Introvert's Edge to Networking because this is where I need the most help. Matthew's low-key, no-nonsense tips give a wealth of practical advice that begins long before stepping into any networking meeting. By doing preparation before entering a meeting, Matthew shows, by both illustration and example, that introvert's can have a solid lead over extroverts in the way they both present themselves to, and are perceived by, their contacts. What makes this book such a beneficial tool in our networking arsenals are both the advice on how to reflect on our strengths and stories and introduce ourselves to others and the real-life examples from Matthew's own story in addition to the stories of those he has helped. Those who are willing to do the preparation ahead of time should succeed brilliantly and increase their sales many times over. The advantages that come from reimagining your presentation and using the strategies outlined in this book cannot be disputed. I'm looking forward to implementing much of what I have learned in Matthew's book to my own business. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Introvert’s Edge to Networking: Work the Room.
